Cisco Courses
CCNP Courses 1 through 4
The Cisco CCNP® curriculum includes four modules, which align with the four exams required for CCNP certification. The CCNP curriculum builds on Cisco CCNA® courses with more complex network configurations, diagnosis, and troubleshooting. The curriculum is intended for those interested in continuing their post-CCNA preparation to become network administrators, Level 2 support engineers, Level 2 systems engineers, network technicians, or deployment engineers. Students interested in this course should have completed CCNA 1-4, or the equivalents. CCNA certification is also desirable; however, it is not a prerequisite. The new CCNP courses can be taken in any order. However it is recommended that students take Building Multilayer Switched Networks before taking Optimizing Converged Networks. The four courses include: Building Scalable Internetworks, Implementing Secured Converged Wide-area Networks, Building Multilayer Switched Networks, and Optimizing Converged Networks.
CCNA Courses 1 through 4
CCNA Courses 1 through 4 of the Academy program, equivalent to 280 hours of instruction, provide students with a basic foundation in networking. Students who successfully complete this portion of the program are eligible to earn Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA™) certification. The first four courses are available at the secondary and post-secondary levels.
CCNA Exploration
The Cisco CCNA Exploration curriculum provides a comprehensive overview of networking; from fundamentals to advanced applications and services. It is based on a top-down approach to networking that is popular in many colleges and universities. This course emphasizes theoretical concepts and practical application, while providing opportunities for students to gain the skills and hands-on experience needed to design, install, operate, and maintain networks in small-to-medium businesses, as well as enterprise and service provider environments.
CCNA Exploration offers in-depth theory, challenging labs, and a detailed overview of protocol operations. It is designed for students with advanced problem-solving and analytical skills, such as degree candidates in engineering, math, or science, or for working professionals who would like to advance their careers or gain certification. CCNA Exploration was designed to be integrated into technology curricula or continuing education programs at post secondary institutions such as technical schools, colleges, and universities.
CCNA Discovery
The Cisco CCNA Discovery curriculum provides foundational networking knowledge, practical experience, opportunities for career exploration, and soft-skills development to help students prepare for entry-level careers in IT and networking. The curriculum offers a hands-on approach to learning, and uses interactive tools and easy-to-follow labs to help students learn the general theory needed to build networks.
CCNA Discovery is designed to be offered as an independent, standalone curriculum or combined with programs offered by secondary schools, technical schools, colleges, and universities. Students who enroll in CCNA Discovery are not expected to have any previous technical skills or knowledge, aside from basic PC skills.
CCNA Curricula Overview
Studies around the world show a growing demand for IT professionals and a critical shortage of qualified candidates to fill the positions. In today’s global economy, skills need to be transferable across borders to meet these market demands. The Cisco Networking Academy provides these skills with a learning experience supported by high quality curricula, assessments, instructor training, hands-on labs, and classroom interaction delivered consistently worldwide.
And with our CCNA curricula, CCNA Discovery and CCNA Exploration, a world of possibilities opens up for individuals looking to gain a competitive edge and be successful in a wide range of networking careers today and in the future.
Designed to meet the diverse needs of students from secondary schools, technical schools, colleges, and universities, our CCNA curricula offer an alternative to a “one size fits all” approach. We help students successfully learn the content by using different teaching methodologies for different types of students. Both CCNA Discovery and CCNA Exploration provide students around the world the opportunity to discover their career passions, explore their career options and enjoy the ‘Mind Wide Open’ possibilities.
